If you can put up with the CE seat, then it's BA for service. No contest.

The competition on many of the longer sh routes have bigger 2x2 seats (SU to SVO, CY to LCA) but BA remains nevertheless the airline of preference on these routes.

Just worth bearing in mind that TK does fly from T3, so if you are connecting from AA (at T3) that makes the transfer easy. Not sure that's a good enough reason to take TK though.

BA is an even easier connection though, T1 to T1.
